    cifs: keep BCC in little-endian format · 820a803f

    This is the same patch as originally posted, just with some merge
    conflicts fixed up...
    
    Currently, the ByteCount is usually converted to host-endian on receive.
    This is confusing however, as we need to keep two sets of routines for
    accessing it, and keep track of when to use each routine. Munging
    received packets like this also limits when the signature can be
    calulated.
    
    Simplify the code by keeping the received ByteCount in little-endian
    format. This allows us to eliminate a set of routines for accessing it
    and we can now drop the *_le suffixes from the accessor functions since
    that's now implied.
    
    While we're at it, switch all of the places that read the ByteCount
    directly to use the get_bcc inline which should also clean up some
    unaligned accesses.
